Podcasts about novel writers

Where there are dictators, there are novels about dictators. But "dictator novels" do not simply respond to the reality of dictatorship. As this genre has developed and cohered, it has acquired a self-generating force distinct from its historical referents. The dictator novel has become a space in which writers consider the difficulties of national consolidation, explore the role of external and global forces in sustaining dictatorship, and even interrogate the political functions of writing itself. Literary representations of the dictator, therefore, provide ground for a self-conscious and self-critical theorization of the relationship between writing and politics itself. Magalí Armillas-Tiseyra's book The Dictator Novel: Writers and Politics in the Global South (Northwestern UP, 2019) positions novels about dictators as a vital genre in the literatures of the Global South. Primarily identified with Latin America, the dictator novel also has underacknowledged importance in the postcolonial literatures of francophone and anglophone Africa. Although scholars have noted similarities, this book is the first extensive comparative analysis of these traditions; it includes discussions of authors including Gabriel García Márquez, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Alejo Carpentier, Augusto Roa Bastos, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, José Mármol, Esteban Echeverría, Ousmane Sembène, Chinua Achebe, Aminata Sow Fall, Henri Lopès, Sony Labou Tansi, and Ahmadou Kourouma. This juxtaposition illuminates the internal dynamics of the dictator novel as a literary genre. In so doing, Armillas-Tiseyra puts forward a comparative model relevant to scholars working across the Global South. Learn more about your ad choices.

I just started writing my 13th book. This time I'm sharing all my writing struggles and problems. Why? To help new writers, beginner writers, and novice writers see the writing process in real life. I've been writing for ten years, and am a full-time literature and writing teacher. I also have a big family. Which means I have to fit in my passion for writing into an already very busy day. Writing is my Zen, my happy place, so I am constantly striving to find ways to find writing time. Join me on my writing journey. As with every book, the story begins with an idea for plots and characters. I'm a plotter who also pants. The plot emerges as I write the story. Will it be different this time? Who knows?

The buzz: “Today, anyone with a bit of technological know-how and an internet connection can publish—offering digital or physical editions, on the same online retail shelves—alongside Alexander Chee, Rebecca Makkai, or Tom Clancy.” For printed books, a slew of new funding, production, and distribution tools make creating and selling a physical artifact much easier…The books look fabulous. This proliferation of new technology and services has altered author economics. Almost half of author earnings now come from independently published books. For the first time—perhaps since the invention of the printing press—authors and small presses have viable independent options beyond the “traditional” publishing path with its gatekeepers. [wired.com] We’ll ask Water Street Press publisher, editor and author Lynn Vannucci, ad-copywriter-turned-novelist Arthur Vibert, and CPA-turned-novelist Joe Calderwood for their take on The Future of the Novel: Writers, Publishing and Technology.
